3.12 Risk assessment (refer to 32-520)
It is a legal requirement in terms of Section 8 (2)(d) of the OHS Act for an employer to carry out risk

A risk assessment is defined as an identification of the hazards present in the activity, work, site,
and an estimate of the extent of the risks involved, considering whatever precautions are already
being taken.
It is essentially a three-stage process:
Risk assessments are required to be maintained. This means that significant changes to a process
or activity, or any new process or activity should be subjected to a risk assessment and that if new
hazards come to light during the work process, then these should also be subjected to risk
assessments. Risk assessments for long term processes should be periodically reviewed and
updated. Method statements or written safe work procedures are an effective method as information
and record of the way jobs / tasks must be performed. Daily or issue based or task specific or on
the job risk assessments must be conducted at the place where work is to be performed/ conducted
to allow managers and employees to assess any inherent risks that could have been overlooked
during the initial risk assessment or any changes that might have occurred in a period of absence.
For example if a job / task is extended over a day or halted due to inclement weather.

Technical Specifications
Source: PPE_Standard_240-44175132_rev_2.pdf (unknown)The Occupational Health and Safety Act places an obligation on employers and/or users
of machinery to evaluate all the risks attached to any condition or situation that may arise from their
activities and to which persons at work may be exposed to and to take necessary steps to make
such condition or situation safe.
Where it is not possible to do so, the employer shall, free of charge, provide and maintain, in a good
and clean condition, safety equipment and facilities and ensure that any person exposed to any such
condition or situation is rendered safe. The employer is required to instruct or train his/her employees
in the proper use, maintenance, and limitations of the safety equipment and facilities provided and
to document such training. This document was compiled to provide minimum requirements for
generic Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to be used in Eskom and its subsidiaries and how to
care for it. This in turn will ensure the protection of the health and safety of Eskom employees and
compliance with the relevant legal requirements.
2.1 Scope
2.1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this document is to prescribe the minimum requirements for generic Personal
Protective Equipment used in Eskom and provide guidance with regards to the process for the
selection, use, care, and maintenance of personal protective equipment (PPE).
This standard does not cover the requirements for specialised work such as Live Work, Fall Arrest
Systems and any other specialised equipment that is not included herein. The requirements for
specialised work disciplines are covered in their respective standards and/or specifications.
In the case where a particular PPE requirement is not covered in this standard, the onus is on the
Division/OU/Cluster/ BU to ensure that all safety requirements are complied with in accordance with
the relevant standards, regulations, or codes of practices for that specific PPE requirement.
2.1.2 Applicability
This document shall apply throughout Eskom Holdings SOC Limited divisions and subsidiaries.
The Operating/Business Units or Clusters may determine additional PPE requirements to suit their
own needs or working conditions, provided that the minimum requirements as set out in this
specification are met as well as the relevant legislation. Such additional requirements should not
expose the employee to any risk. This can be determined through a comprehensive activity-related
OHS risk assessment.

Source: Eskom Supplier Integrity Pact - 02 June 2023.pdf (unknown)1.1 Scope
The Eskom Supplier Integrity Pact (Integrity Pact) is applicable to Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd (including all
wholly owned subsidiaries) and all existing and potential suppliers (as per the definition hereunder).
1.2 Purpose
The integrity pact is a pact between Eskom and its suppliers that prescribes the “ethical behaviour”. Ethical
behaviour is desirable/acceptable conduct (actions and decisions) that will bring about good/appropriate
consequences/outcomes in the interaction with others. Ethical behaviour incorporates ethical values and
considers not only what is good for oneself, but also what is good for others. Eskom considers such behaviour
of paramount importance and expects every existing/potential supplier and its own employees/directors to
always act ethically and with integrity.
Eskom commits to ensuring that it implements a procurement policy/procedure that aligns to all applicable
South African laws and regulations, as well as the constitutional principles of fairness, transparency, equity,
cost effectiveness and competitiveness.
This document supplements all other relevant Commercial and Ethics related policies/codes/procedures.
1.3 Preamble
In order to achieve this purpose, all Eskom suppliers are required to read this Integrity Pact and to complete,
sign and submit the Integrity Declaration Form whenever they participate in any Eskom procurement process.
Eskom and its suppliers commit to honouring their respective obligations herein, and agree to refrain from
any form of dishonesty, fraud, and/or corruption throughout the entire procurement process, including
tendering practices that are in bad faith, unfair and anti-competitive (e.g., under-pricing/collusion/bid rigging)
Term Definition
Conflict of Interest A conflict of interest arises when one’s personal interests, personal
financial interests or any other interests, affect, or could be perceived to
affect, or has the potential to affect one’s objectivity and discretion and/or
the objectivity and discretion of another in performing Eskom duties or
making decisions on behalf of Eskom. This means that an employee or
director is in a position to make a decision (or influences a decision) that
is not fair and objective in order to benefit personally, or to benefit related
and /or inter-related persons.
Director Means a member of the board of Eskom, or a board of its subsidiary or
an alternate director of such board and includes a person occupying the
position of a director, by whatever name designated, or a prescribed
officer, or a person who is a member of a committee of the board or of
the audit committee, irrespective of whether the person is also a member
of such board.

Revision: 2

4.1 Eskom’s suppliers accept that they will at all times:
4.1.1 Maintain an impeachable standard of integrity in all their business and personal dealings and take all
reasonable measures necessary to prevent all dishonest, unfair, fraudulent, corrupt, and illegal
practices during any stage of the Eskom procurement process including the execution of contracts
and contract modifications.
4.1.2 Ensure that they are familiar with all publicly available Eskom policies/ procedures/codes that impact
the supply chain processes including, but not limited to Eskom’s Standard Conditions of Tender.
4.1.3 Reject all improper business practices (as may be prohibited by Eskom).
4.1.4 Not abuse the trust placed in them by Eskom employees, or misuse opportunities arising during their
interaction with Eskom for personal gain.
4.1.5 Seek to constantly maintain and enhance their standards of professional competence.
4.1.6 Adopt, where possible, policies and practices which align with those of Eskom (labour practices,
employment equity initiatives and human relations policies) to the highest ethical standards.

4.2.1 All confidential information, to which they may have access in the course of their work, must not be
disclosed without the express consent from the authorised Eskom representative. The supplier is
required to complete a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to give effect to this.
4.2.2 They will not deliberately misrepresent information, submit false certifications or forged documents to
influence the tendering process to advantage themselves or to mislead Eskom in any way and that
Eskom has the right to request an audit of such information, and take further action against the supplier
should it be found that it has acted in a dishonest or fraudulent manner.
4.2.3 Although the establishment of long term and close relations between Eskom and its suppliers is
recognised, Suppliers are nevertheless, required to avoid relationships with Eskom
employees//directors, that may be perceived to be contrary to the constitutional principles of fairness,
equitability, transparency, competitiveness, and cost effectiveness. Suppliers are therefore required
to complete the Integrity declaration form wherein they are required to disclose any interest that they
may have with an Eskom employee/director, whether financial, personal, or private, in its business,
and/or any affiliation /relationship which affects, or may affect, or may be perceived to affect, the
decision-making during tender award. Should a supplier later become aware that its
owners/members/directors/partners/shareholders are an Eskom employee/director with respect to a
tender in which it participated, the supplier is required to disclose the interest/relationship to Eskom
and submit whatever information may be required regarding the parties involved.

Evaluation Criteria
Source: Eskom - Standard Conditions of Tender - 30 January 2025.pdf (TENDER)Evaluation follows a staged process: basic compliance, mandatory returnables, pre-qualification criteria (if any), functionality (if applicable), then price and specific goals. Functionality, if used, requires meeting the minimum threshold stated in the Tender Data to proceed. Price is evaluated per the Tender Data, considering factors such as CPA, FOREX, commodity exposure, discounts, technical adjustments, present value and forecasted invoicing. B-BBEE is scored from the CSD report or certificate/affidavit; if B-BBEE is a pre-qualification criterion, proof must be submitted by closing or the tender is disqualified. For PPPFA point allocation, absence of a valid B-BBEE certificate results in zero points, not disqualification. Specific Goals are scored with supporting documentation; failure to submit results in zero points for that element. Pricing and Specific Goals are added and ranked highest to lowest under the 90/10 or 80/20 system. Eskom will not measure a criterion twice (no double dipping). Objective criteria under Section 2(1)(f) may apply only if stipulated; functionality and B-BBEE elements cannot be used as objective criteria. Reverse e-auction may be used if indicated; if so, prices must not be included in the tender.

total that is the result of an error in multiplying the unit rate and the quantity, the line-
item total shall prevail, and the rate shall be corrected.
(b) Where there is a misplacement of the decimal point in the unit rate, the line-item total
as quoted shall prevail, and the unit rate shall be corrected.
(c) Where there is an error in the total of the prices that is the result either of other
corrections required by the checking process or in the tenderer’s addition of prices,
the total of the prices shall prevail, and the tenderer shall be asked to revise the
selected item prices (and their rates if a bill of quantities applies) to result in the
tendered total of the prices.
